Parsing HTML with CSQuery

Question

How can I retrieve the value from a div tag via the ID using CSQuery?

For example,

    

        Room 1         


        
      

Answer 1

Ok, here is how you do this with a full working example.

Html

This includes your invalid/duplicate id html which you have no control over

var html = @"

            

                Chambre standard 1 pers du 03/03/2014  au 05/03/2014 
            
            

                127.76 €
            
        

            

                Chambre standard 2 pers du 03/03/2014  au 05/03/2014 
            
            

                227.76 €
            
        
";

C# Code

This loads the dom elements by their id's into two lists of descriptions and prices. It then projects them into a list of HotelAvailability objects using the key values of both collections as the HotelName and Price properties.

        CQ dom = html;

        var libs = dom["#lib_presta"];
        var prixs = dom["#prix_presta"];

        var list = libs.Zip(prixs, (k, v) => new { k, v })
          .Select(h => new HotelAvailablity { HotelName = h.k.InnerText.Trim(), Price = h.v.InnerText.Trim() });

Run the above in a console app to test it.
